Bruchus mimus 705. Cercis canadensis (seed). EFFECT OF CYANIDE UPON COLOUR.
-A verycurious case of artificial col-
ouring in a butterfly has been sent me
by a friend. He says that the speci-
men, a male Gonopteryx [sic] h a 4
.
was placed in a spare cyanide bottle, and left undisturbed for two years ; but that, at some intermediate time, the stopper
was tampered with and not properly
replaced, so that air was introduced.
The result is, that the butterfly is richly coloured with crimson along the costal
area, and partially round the other mar- gins of the fore-wings, and has large
blotches of the same on the hind-wings.
Indeed, the only portion of the wings
which is left entirely of the usual brim- stone colour is that portion which, in G. cleopatra, is clouded with crimson. -
